Sorry, this post will reach you too late. I am posting however, because I too had this problem. There are not very many AFFORDABLE outdoor options in Baltimore. Finding our spot was like finding a needle in a haystack. The local parks are the best option. Druid Hill has a SECLUDED spot near the lake, equipped with arena seating. Most are unaware this spot exist! The lake provides a beautiful backdrop and the local wildlife: deer, ducks, geese, and squirrels are not afraid to join the party. It's apparent visitors to the park are feeding them. This may spook some couples but we loved it. The site provided tables, chairs, and lighting, as well as a dome for the reception, all for a very reasonable price. The only disadvantage was the private facilities. We decided that we would rent nicer outdoor portable restroom for our guests. Checkout Baltimore Recreation and Parks for more info.

Another option we considered was MT Washington Conference Center. It is also beautiful and a well kept secret! There is a banquet room that could be used for a reception. The room is bordered by huge windows and an outdoor walking terrace, so it is like being outside. For the ceremony there is another outdoor area with a cobblestone circular floor and huge fountain. The best part is out of town guests may stay overnight! The rooms are very reasonable, $120 per night. The center is equipped with indoor cafe, indoor track, huge game room, weight room and sauna, balconies with grills on all the rooms, large break areas and breezeways outside the rooms, and nearby shops and restaurants. It also has a honeymoon suite. You must use their caterer, but there were plenty of reasonable meal selections. We selected the most affordable menu, $30 per guest. This option included meat, starch, vegetable, and drink. We also paid a rental fee for both ceremony and reception sites. The staff was awesome! It is definitely worth the visit.

Anyways my name is Ryan Crawford and I am a photographer for True Serenity, which is an event planning company that also owns a beautiful space downtown Orlando called True Serenity (link https://mytrueserenity.com). I haven't done any weddings... However, I do take great pictures. I have some what of a website here http://ryancrawfordphoto.com which is still in the works. I can up load more pictures if you would like. just email me at ryan@mytrueserenity.com or you can call 407 908 1333 ext 100. My consultation is free and my hourly rate is $65.

I hope to hear from you.ThanksRyan

Hi everyone.We are going to be a blended family of 8. I have the 3 girls and my fiance has the 3 boys. We are trying to find an all inclusive venue for our wedding and reception that wont break the bank. We want a semi-formal wedding and a lovely place we can feed our guests a nice buffet dinner and have dancing at the reception. Money is tight with such a big, wonderful family so we are looking for a venue and venders that are very reasonable in price. If anyone can make some great suggestions for locations in Bend, Oregon we would be very grateful.Thank you so much,Marie

well most of the people say that with that budget you cant do nothing, but here some ideas, hope you like it:

wedding reception

-try to do your wedding in a backyard

- try to look for american legion, veterans of foreign wars, or elks halls they have good prices, they are like church associations or something like that- also i know a place in ronkonkoma, Ny the name is ronkonkoma beach recreation center is really cheap you have to pay like $775 (80people)the place (is a little be small) and they give you the chairs and the table, you just have to get the food and table clothsno alcohol

centerpieces-you can go to dollar tree store and get cheep bases just for $1 and put like some flower in with some little rocks that you can find in dollar tree store

your dress- i have 1 wed page, i'm gonna use it for my dress too, the name is dressv and you can order your dress there and you can give them your measures and they sent you the dress of your size: price less than $200

my husband and I are looking to renew our vows. I want a small intimate ceremony. We didn't have a wedding, so this in a sense will almost be like a wedding. I'm looking for an outdoor venue in Broward County for about 25 people. I want a night ceremony and reception in the same place... is this possible or should I look at different options???

EPIQ Event Services Offer “event productions” which is significantly different from “videography”. Videography is simply “point and shoot” what is already in existence. You may or may not capture the essence of the event. “Event production” includes drafting an outline of what the event is, and through the editing process build a story that someone who has no connection with the subject can watch, learn and follow with an understanding of what is transpiring. Watching most “wedding videos” only shows the rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception and perhaps some guest remarks. I prefer to tell a story – who are these people? What is it about them that makes them unique, how did they meet and fall in love, what do they have in common/not in common, what do their friends and family members have to say about their love story…THEN film the event and include the behind the scenes elements as well so that they can enjoy.

I am interested in finding a venue that is suitable for a hair expo/fashion show. This will be my second year in Jacksonville and I am looking for something that can accommodate my guests. In need of a stage, holds 400, has sound, and can work with us with ticketing event.

Common Grounds -- An Offering by the East Greenwich, Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce

Once a month the East Greenwich, Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce sponsors the Common Grounds program on a Friday morning. Attendees network informally and then each attendee presents a one to two minute (depending upon how many people are attending) talk related to their business. Talks may be video taped (at the option of the person presenting). The video taped talks are placed on YouTube and are announced in the Chamber's weekly newsletter. The talks may be located on the Chamber's YouTube Channel.

After the brief presentations, all attendees vote for the best presentation of the day. The winner receives a trophy (to hold for the month) as well as the opportunity to do a five minute presentation the next month and potentially some other prizes.

The cost to attend Common Grounds is $5.00 for members and non-members alike. There is no catering involved.

Since I lead programs with lots of activites, I normally opt for presenting a brief introduction to my Education by Entertainment programs, followed by a brief activity.

On February 13 I did a special pre-Valentines day activity with Awesome Participant Carrie Coren which may be informative and fun for you to watch. Click here to see a video of the activity. You will see one of the surprises begin when the blindfold goes on.

Just a little word of advice: Don't get dead set on the colors without having a venue chosen. Your color scheme may not go with what you end up choosing as your venue.

just started to look for venues and feeling a little over whelmed with everything. my fiance and i only have the colors picked out and thats all the help he will give me. it feels like this is goin to b a night mare till the wedding

I would like to rent the NHC building top floor for a birthday party. I was told you had to &quotknow someone&quot to rent it. Does anyone know a contact of a person I could contact to rent this place?

I am starting a party business with a couple partners and we are planning to throw a college student party for spring break. We need a venue that we can rent that hold at least up to 500 people. We need to come up with a budget plan, so I need a venue as soon as possible.

Is it at all possible to have a beautiful wedding for under $3,000? Not trying to be cheap, but I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old not to mention I'm a permanent babysitter for my sister. My fiancée is the only one working and his job pay decent but not nearly enough to have an expensive wedding. Can anyone help me?! Please, I'm desperate.

My daughter officially turned 21 on 2/13. i need a place to get family and friends together to celebrate her accomplishments. College graduation this year, purchasing her first car &quotall alone&quot, 4 hard years away from home, 4 hard years balancing work, career, and college while being upbeat and outgoing.

She a wonderful person and we need to celebrate her with 50-80 friends and family of those that she has touched.

OMG Planning a wedding in NY is Nerve wrecking...lol Trying to find a reception venue for a decent price is horrible. What I also notice is that all venues up the pricing for Wedding receptions. Why is it one price to provide food for a Party VS. A wedding especially if There are not many differences in what is being provided. Then They want to tell me the times will be serving liquor. I feel alcohol should be served after dinner, not before but most places wont alter the price for the time. I don't need alcohol for 5 hours straight 2 hrs. is fine. Less alcohol, lower price and less drunkeness. And they want you to have a certain amount of people to be guaranteed, thats not fair either. What if I don't want 100 people.

Ahhh the joys of having a wedding planner. Many of these things can be negotiated with the right planner who has relationships with the different venues. If you are still feeling stressed please contact me. I am a planner that services Atlanta and NY. I can be of assistance. Have a great day and good luck and relax. You're getting married, enjoy it

We had my sister's engagement party at Roswell Historic Cottage. It is on 972 Alpharetta Street Roswell GA. It is a great place for what you are looking for. It is old, rustic but beautiful. Everyone attended the party loved it. We did our own flower arrangements, purchased the alcohol and had private caterer . It turned out beautiful. Please check it out.

I'm looking for a venue in the Woodbridge, VA area. We are wanting to celebrate a Sweet 15 and we are looking to have 200 guest attend. We are on a budget and are looking for a nice place that is not too expensive. Can anyone recommend anything. Thank you in advance.

Wedding cakes generally priced per serving. Check your area what the average going rate is per person. Buttercream covered wedding cakes can be a problem in warm climate areas or the Summer. For a long lasting beautiful cake we suggest to pay the extra fee of fondant. Also with fondant your design ability's are endless. There are many different fondants on the market and we suggest when making your tasting appointment let the baker know that you like to taste there fondant.

Fondant should be applied thin no more then 1/8&quot. You want the cake and not so much the fondant. With fondant you will most likely be charged a design fee, which will vary up on complexity of the design.

A average fondant covered wedding cake with fondant and sugar flowers and other designs for 100 guest will cost you approximately between $700 and $800. This cost usually dose not include Delivery/set up and the cake stand.

I am looking for suggestions on where to hold a company wide picnic for up to 2000 attendees. We have many locations across the state so would like to keep centralized for all. Any suggestions appreciated!

Have you visited the Marlam Events & Conference Center? A VERY reasonably priced venue with delicious food and AMAZING service. They provide the opposite of 'up-selling'...unique concept that other venues should emulate.

My wife and I stayed over at the Wakulla Spring Lodge, the first week in February 2015, where Bob Carey did a two night stand. Since the hotel requires their diner musicians to play continuously, we heard, not sets, but Bob Carey In Concert.

How to explain the multi-instrumental brilliance of this artist? To begin with, he apparently knows every song ever written in the 20th century, but it is much more than a voluminous songbook he brings to bear. His technical range, brio, and jazz-sharp time sense filled the big old lobby with cascading sheets of gorgeous, smartly-crafted, and romantically-moving music from the eras before and after bands electrified.

I could go on and on, but words fail before musicianship such as this. I submit that any man who can play &quotSomewhere Over the Rainbow&quot and &quotMr. Bojangles&quot in the same medley is touched by genius. My wife and I finally just got up and danced like old fools. Couldn't help it. Bob Carey is the best thing that can happen to anybody's event anywhere at anytime. What a pro!
